In Brisbane, communities at Yeronga, Annerley, Salisbury and New Farm are among those angry about marathon sermons and "Christian karaoke" which they say are making their weekends a misery, The Courier-Mail reports.

Kathy Davis, of inner-city New Farm, said police were regularly called to the Metro Church in upmarket Sydney Street because of ear-splitting music.

BOGOTA — A Colombian cooking school has concocted a "love dessert" made with passion fruit — and Viagra.
Student chefs at the state culinary school in Quindio province wouldn't give the complete ingredients but say it contains the active ingredient in Viagra.
The pudding-like dessert is garnished with whipped cream and chocolate, and served in a parfait glass.
Sebastian Gomez, one of the creators, says the idea was to reinterpret the blue pill into a new kind of aphrodisiac.
Gomez said the recipe describes how much Viagra to safely dissolve into the dessert.
The dessert is, of course, not for sale as Viagra is a prescription drug.
